Convertible COPO Camaro Raises $400,000 for Charity
At the 2012 SEMA Show, Chevrolet unveiled its 2012 COPO convertible, which just fetched a nice $400,000 towards charity at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Only two COPO Camaro convertibles exist, with the other one residing at the GM Heritage Center, which means it won’t be sold anytime soon. This particular unit is powered by a 327-cubic inch V8 engine with a 4.0-liter supercharger and boasts 550 hp for the quarter mile.
